Hey Jonny,

I appreaciate the reply. And I totally agree with you about having "age appropriate" sex ed in school. Although, I'm not really sure it's even needed now in the Information Age.

While some kids do reach puberty early, between the ages of 8 to 14, I do not see that as a reason to begin wholesale cirriculum at such a young age. While some edge case bodies do indeed being puberty early, that does not mean children are psychologically ready for full-scale sex ed.

I didn't get sex ed until the 6th grade. Even then it was a joke to most of us as 6th graders. We laughed and giggled our way through most of the cirriculum. Was it age-appropriate? Sure. But we weren't ready for it. At least I and many of my friends weren't.

We also had sex ed later in middle school, 8th grade I think. By then, no one cared. It was stupid. No one paid any attention. But it was requried with parental permission.

That is what is the big issue, every child should have parental permission. The school is not God, but they often act like it.

In any event, what I really wished I had back in the day when I was in school was a romantic porn video, straight and/or gay. Seriously. This would have taught me MORE about myself and sex and romance than any stupid sex ed ciriculum ever did. Go figure.

Today, sex ed is a moot point. Kids at whatever age have access to whatever "sex ed" or porn videos to learn what they want. They really don't need the school teaching them. The schools in my area never taught sex ed. I really don't think it was necessary. JM2C.

Peace.
